HOST REPORTS

No

“I keep my dogs and any guest dogs separated during your visit. Unless otherwise discussed your dogs won’t know other dogs are there. If we find a reason to introduce them, I like to introduce new pups in a controlled way. usually by letting a new pup explore the property for a while and then introducing them to the pack one at a time. if you watch some of the videos on my instagram, it’s clear how well they make friends. it’s also ok to request little or no contact. we have the space to accommodate that need for any dog and parent.”

Description

Hello!! BIG PLANS!! Thank you to every dog and human that supported us this past year. Puppy Paradise in Salado has made so many dogs happy. Visit @puppyparadisesalado to learn more or continue reading. For every new Instagram follower, 1 minute of land clearing and Puppy Paradise construction. Capped at 10 million minutes. For every in person visit, I will budget 30 minutes of land clearing and amenity creation. For every friend group that visits, I will budget 1 hour of pond building and stream reclamation. I will post time lapses along with reported numbers on Instagram. If the page gets to 300k followers I will make Puppy Paradise construction my full time job. I hope you see this as an opportunity for mutual support and developing a long term resource for you and your dog to enjoy once a week or once a month. Come with us on the journey. Kind regards, Joannie - MollyMae - Willameina - Albie Jr - Wizard - Wowzer

Cleanliness

Hazards

HOST NOTE

I live on the property with my pups and I’ve been surprised at how well they do navigating some of the cactus plants and thorns. We have yet to see to many hazards beyond tired legs from running. Every day, I invest several more hours to build up the vision for a puppy paradise in my mind.

Extras

Dog Embodiment Photos100 credits

3 locations, 10 minutes of taking pictures, 10 minutes of walking. You’ll have access to multiple landscapes, backgrounds and play opportunities. You’ll get all the raw files on a thumb drive mailed to your home. We will use the photos to help market and advertise the space as a dog forward space.

Dog Forward Community Market10 credits

This is just a way to support using this space periodically for a community market. ☺️🐶 this is a donation.

Listening Session50 credits

Everyone needs a listening partner who’s not invested in the outcome. Practice a business pitch, verbally process a conversation with a friend, gossip about the frustrating neighbors so you don’t act unkind when you see them in person. I promise I will not judge. I won’t be a replacement for a good professional therapist but I will be a great sounding board so your next stressful social interaction will be more successful.

Plant Harvesting25 credits

Up to 3 species per visit per person. Ask questions about sustainable harvesting.

SniffFund Me - Summer Dog Pool50 credits

This is a big one. The cost of building a dog pond will take several years but in the meantime we can build a much smaller dog pool. We need 100 people to choose this add on in order to build a 33” stock tank pool with a pond liner and gravel bottom. We will use a smaller stock tank to create a wetland filter. 0/100

SniffFundMe-bridge\rain shade5 credits

The total cost of building the walking bridge is $5000 and creating a 20’X20’ sun/rain shade will cost $2400. I have already invested in a 40’ container which will be the main body of the bridge. I am milling cedar with a small chain saw. All of the income from this Add-On will go directly to these projects. A spreadsheet of incoming donations at items sourced with these funds can be access upon request.

Additional rules

Once your vehicle is safely parked and the front gate is closed, your dogs are allowed to be off lease and outside. Of course this is at your discretion and while I am providing the tour, they can also remain in the car if that helps support them better. You can also request some physical space for me away from your car to again support their introduction to this careful space. 🙏🏼🐶

We host a private retreat for pups who need space to roam freely! Not every dog thrives in a busy public park, and we understand the need for a safe, stress-free environment. Whether your furry friend prefers quiet playtime, needs extra security, or just loves to explore without interruptions, our park is designed for them. With plenty of open space, a well-maintained setting, and a hassle-free experience, you can relax while your pup enjoys the freedom to run, sniff, and play at their own pace. Come visit and let your dog experience the perfect getaway—tail wags guaranteed!

Our spot is part of our farm. There are some options available. Near the pond, within the main house fencing, or in the middle field. All three locations have fencing, water hoses and containers for washing off or drinking and shade spots. The fields are mostly grass and native wild plants. Chicken and dogs live on the property. Dogs are friendly guard dogs that mostly mind their own business. They are used to visitors and their pets but can be fenced in if previously requested.
